Milgram: Obedience to Authority
In psychology there are certain studies that are classic. You can't escape an introduction to psychology course without knowing about certain individuals, i.e., Freud, or certain studies such as this one and the Stanford Prison Study (next topic).
Your textbook in the chapter on "Social Psychology" (starting on page 39, Ch 14) discusses Stanley Milgram's famous social psychology experiment, Obedience to Authority.
Here is a video clip that contains some of the original footage of Milgram's experiment.
